I don't detect the least bit of fear in their relationship..although 
Petunia certainly does what she's told in PS/SS she goes along with 
his mad flight to the hut on the rock on the sea...I still can't 
believe how gender stereotypical the relationships are....

Anyway,what did Lily think of Petunia..I believe she thought she was 
an ignorant bigot (that's what I think about bigots in my own 
family), that she felt sorry for her, but that she basically wrote 
her off...what would YOU do if you had Petunia in the family....

BTW..I also would like to see more of Dr. and Dr. Granger.
